Movie Reviews

Since I never seem to go to the theater to watch any movies during the school year, I have to make up for it once summer comes. Thursday I went with the ooku crew to see "Superman Returns" at the Imax. The movie was well done; the acting was fine; the plot- decent for a Superman movie. Overall I think I've been spoiled by the more comical Spiderman movies and greater action & plots of Batman Returns and X-Men. I appreciated Superman's strength, high flying stunts, and romantic ambitions, but it fell short of meeting my expectations. Don't get me wrong, it is still worth seeing. Just don't expect it to be as amazing at the other comic flicks.

I also saw "Cars" with my Dad and Mom tonight. It far surpassed my expectations. It had a great soundtrack, the animation was well done, and the plot was suprisingly deep/engaging for an animated film. I'd definitely recommend it.

That's about all the news for now. I start my Assistant Cook job next Monday and will be working crazy hours there in addition to my lab job. Hopefully I can still have a life and have some time to hang out with everyone.

I'm going to go outside and stare at the stars now. Hopefully I can find more constellations than just the big dipper tonight.
